Check your BIOS Settings for the controller. May be that it needs to set
to "Mass Storage" if available in the HP Bios. I am not a die hard HP
person so check the settings available. I know for a fact this is a
problem with other manufactures.
Maybe there is a HP Guy or Gal in here some where that can elaborate
some more on this for you.....

Then again the MPT Drivers for that controller may have been dropped for
that controller. I do know several have been "End of Lifed" I know this
to be true for other high end server manufactures. Support for them
ended in RHEL 4. So that would = CentOS 4 as well.
